Eja Tuominen has been appointed as a new board member of the Swedish-based coffee roaster Löfbergs. Eja has 30 years of experience in senior management positions, for example at IKEA and Kesko, with focus on commercialisation, internationalisation, and other growth issues.
On Tuesday evening, the European Coffee Awards took place in Berlin, where Löfbergs secured double top placements. The family-owned coffee roastery from Sweden reached the top three in two categories: Europe's Best Coffee Roastery and Europe's Most Sustainable Brand.
The Löfberg Family Foundation initiates a multiannual collaboration with the Help to Help foundation. The support makes it possible for young people in Tanzania and Uganda, who otherwise would not have had the opportunity to carry out higher education, to qualify for vital societal professions like agronomists, economists, engineers, or doctors.
Fredrik Nilsson, 46, has been appointed acting CEO of Löfbergs as from 1 November. Fredrik is currently working as CFO at the family-owned coffee roaster, a position he will keep.
